Welcome to 8th grade! You may remember me from your 6th-grade year here at NLMS. I was fortunate to be able to move up to 8th grade last year! I will be teaching SS and ELA. I am excited about teaching many of you again, and I look forward to meeting the rest of you! This is the beginning of my 25th year with Lincoln County. I grew up in Lincolnton and only moved away to attend Appalachian State University. Go Mountaineers! I have been married to my husband for 23 years and we have two beautiful children, Isaac (20) and Lydia(19). We are starting a homestead called Spooky Holler Farms - there is a story behind the name! We hope to get a few cows soon. We have 2 goats, 2 ducks, 24 chickens and 1 dog, Sarge. I am sure I will have lots of fun stories to share this year! One last thing - I am obsessed with bears!
